The General Ledger in OneSource is completely independent (in a separate table called GL Transactions) from the transactions in OneSource that effect your financial statements, such as Invoices, Invoice Payments, Bills, Bill Payments, Checks, Deposits, Adjustments, Inventory Adjustments, etc.

 

Nearly all postings to the GL are managed (and can be posted as a batch) from the Batch Post GL Transactions form.  

 

The following exception reports (contained in the list of reports in the Report Selection screen) provide a comparison (double check) of inventory costs with other types of transactions in the system:

 

  • Exception Report - Comparison of Invoice Cost to Avg Inventory Item Cost: Shows a list of Invoice line item costs for the selected date range with average item cost.  The report includes Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Ship Quantity, Total Line Item Cost, Average Item Cost, Total Average Item Cost.  The report shows subtotals by invoice and report total.

  • Exception Report - Comparison of Invoice Cost to Default Mfg Costs: (The Default Mfg cost is the same thing as your Default Supplier Cost.  It is merely stored in the Inventorytable in a field called Default Mfg Cost). Shows a list of Invoice line item costs for the selected date range with average item cost.  The report includes Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Ship Quantity, Total Line Item Cost, Average Item Cost, Total Average Item Cost.  The report shows subtotals by invoice and report total.

  • Exception Report - Comparison of Invoice Costs to Posted (GL) Costs: Shows a list of all Invoices for the selected date range where the total cost on the Invoice does not match the amount posted to the GL.

  • Exception Report - Comparison of Sales Order Costs to PO Costs: Shows a list of all special order Sales Order items on Orders in the selected date range where the cost differs from the PO cost. (This is useful as the Costs on Invoices originated from Sales Orders).

  • Exception Report - Inventory - Cost Comparison: Exception Report: Compare Default Supplier Cost to In Stock Cost.

  • Exception Report - Inventory Items- $0 Def Supp Cost: Shows a list of all items the Exception Report: $0 Default Supplier Cost.

  • Exception Report - Variance of Invoice Cost to Avg Inventory Item Cost: Shows a list of Invoice line item costs compared to the average item cost and the variance (%) between the two.  (Enter percentages with a decimal point.  For example, enter 20% as .20) The report will show all items with variances less than or equal to the Low Comparison value entered and greater than or equal to the High Comparison value entered for invoices in the selected date range.  

Note: Depending on the fluctuation in the your inventory item costs from one purchase of the item to the next, this may display legitimate variances.

  • Invoices with Missing Customers: Lists Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Entered By, Sold To and Ship To Customers (where present) for all invoices that have either a missing sold to or ship to customer.

 

 

Note: These reports are all located on the Report Category of Exceptions Reports.  If, after viewing any or all of these exception reports, you have any questions of which what they mean, how to correct a problem, etc.  please feel free to contact OneSource for additional help and support to correct and/or prevent the re-occurrence of the problem.
